Will buccal fat removal improve my side profile? (Photos)

Question

II really don’t like my side profile because of the way my cheek and buccal fat looks like it make it appear like deep marriott lines. What can I do to improve the appearance I want to look flat and lifted. I’ll add the photos from the front as well , I like my face from front my only issue is the side view. Also would like more sculpted look with less visible double chin.

It does not appear that reduction of buccal fat would make much of a difference in your profile. However, liposuction of the neck and jowls with skin tightening (ultrasound, radiofrequency, J plasma) would create desired improvement. Good luck.

from what I can tell, I would definitely NOT have you remove your buccal fat since you are already hollowing in that region on the front photo. instead, it appears that you possibly have a recessed jaw, resulting in "crowding" of tissue that you see on the side. you could start with something easy like chin/jaw filler vs. dsomething more aggressive

Based on your two posted, photos in my opinion is not the BUCCAL fat pad issue more likely it’s a laxity of the cheek, upper and lower cheek to jawline with under chin fat. Based on only the two post photos, my recommendation would be a mini face neck lift with muscle tightening, combined with Endo lift laser, Best of virtual concert with. Expect fees to range from $5000-$8000. Again best of virtual concert with.
